over the last month or so I have had a cough and it turned into the flu last week I haven't eaten much and lost some weight which isn't a bad thing my family where great and left me to be sitting and doing nothing at all

even my youngest helped with meals and doing things for me which made me feel special as a mum who was sick .I did however work and had to cancel a training day and only worked for a few hours on Saturday .

feeling uinder the weather still and lived on soup for most of the week soup has became my best friend as everything taste's the same and it's awful. I really do like food and it's not good when everything taste the same as I don't enjoy it one little bit

Autumn Season and it wont be long winter will be here it's starting to pop it's face around the corner with the cooler nights and days.At the start of Autumn I did a cc at Scrapping Around and this is one of my layouts I did it was my ch and you had to use 9 small pieces of pattern paper which I did mine are added down the bottom of my pagePhoto was taken by me and it's my garden I got nice and close and used macro setting on my camera which gave a nicer and clear photo in the long run with the colour cystal clearI'm enjoying the last few days of Autumn before winter hits us very hard and fast but I wont mind as it's great for scrapping by the fireThe layout also has my own hand writing on it as I love using my own handwriting because when I'm gone it will be something to treasure forever

This was a Friday Night Girls In Ch Monique set it and we had no photos to go by it was all typed up the way she wanted us to create our layoutshe also did a card but I didn't get time to make the card on Friday.

Photos are taken of my middle teen enjoying summer 10 ten minutes away from our place set in the wild bush of Tassie is a small pinic spot with a swimming hole

We all had a great time and thank you for taking time to look at my layout

This layout took me 30 mins all up very simple and quick but I'm happy with it

Everyone loves Easter in my household and they really liked me this year because I had to create some DT work forSCRAPPING AROUNDOnce again I used a big photo and zoomed in crpping bits out to make the eggs centre of attention when you look at the layout.U sed Bella chipboard,Kasier paper ,flowers and bling with some red ink .Once I inked teh letters I mad podge then with sparkling which gives a nice layout over allWe had a great easter and everyone relly enjoyed them self and I wasn't teh only easter bunnie in our home this year which was nice to think we where special enough o get eggs from another bunny full of love

you hear people say their mates its great living in Australia because of the mateships you make

we didn't realize until our son was hurt how many friends and mates he had made along the way and since moving away from home he has met lots of other people and feels so much part of the town we live in

He said no one likes the girl for what she did to him and he had lots of people ask him if he was okay

I still have people ask about him

they say to me , I know your son is he okay

yep he is but I want to thank his mates for believing in him , helping him when the need was required of them all and for caring

Teens don't get a lot of credit due to that they are teens and they do silly things

yep they do silly things but you know what you gotta love them because every teen has some good inside somewhere

I hope it's all sorted quickly but it will be a long term event because of his dentist trips we usually pay for him and teh last time he went it was $195.00 for 30 minutes while they removed tooth glue from his teeth

He now looks normal still has to be very careful in the way he eats but is improving so thats all we can hope for and that osts will be given back to us soon

it has made our family stronger and it was and still is amazing to seehow my sons have got through this together
